The Corner Book Club - Julia Alvarez

  • Montclair Public Library - Bellevue Ave Branch (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Bestselling author Julia Alvarez's recent adult novel, Afterlife, centers on immigrant writer Antonia Vega. She has just transitioned to retirement when her beloved husband dies. And then more jolts: her bighearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep. Set during these times of tribalism and distrust, this novel asks: What do we owe those in crisis in our families, including --maybe especially -- members of our human family? How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves?
